The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has partnered with The Charlesworth Group to expand the benefits of the ACM OPEN ‘read and publish’ Open Access (OA) licensing model in China.
China has notably supported OA initiatives in the past several years and has an active OA community. ACM OPEN is a new transformative OA licensing model that allows an institution’s corresponding authors to publish an unlimited number of OA research articles in the ACM Digital Library, while retaining complete ‘reader’ access to the rest of the subscription contents on the ACM Digital Library platform. By partnering with The Charlesworth Group, ACM expects to leverage local expertise to build on the already strong adoption of the ACM OPEN program worldwide.
ACM OPEN was developed in close collaboration and partnership with a group of leading research universities to address many of the shortcomings and extend on many of the benefits of existing APC-based Read + Publish models for Open Access publication offered by a number of the large for-profit commercial publishers.
